This room by architect firm Gray Organschi takes my breath away. I’m not normally a minimalist. Usually I like rooms that are quirky and colorful, with a sense of personality and comfy chairs. Stark, empty rooms normally leave me cold and bored. But this one. Oh, this one. There’s...
It’s been a slightly productive week as far as my 30 before 30 list goes. I got a few things crossed off the list. Some more exciting than others. I also started number 2, Beat a Video Game, with a game that I don’t think I’ll be able to beat...
We went to Ottawa, Ontario over the weekend and had the best time. I know going north to Canada isn’t necessarily the first place a lot of people think to travel in February, but Ottawa is a city that really makes winter fun — and if I can have fun...
One of our favorite things to do is make pizza at home. It’s really fun anytime but especially when we have friends over and everyone can get whatever they want. We have go-to dough and sauce recipes that Andy has made a ton of times, and we enjoy experimenting with different...

A big part of our wedding to-do list is actually a list of things to do around the house. We’re hosting an open house brunch the morning after our wedding. And of course the house has to be perfect! A lot of our friends and family don’t live in Ohio,...
I sure hope so! I’ve seen a few really amazing garage makeovers lately that have me daydreaming about someday turning mine into something, well, tolerable. I know the garage I have will never be amazing, but I’ll be happy with functional, organized and safe. Um, yeah, I fell through the floor...
We woke up Easter morning with grand plans of making ourselves a huge french toast brunch. And then realized our “day-old” bread was actually about a week old and hard as a rock. French toast fail. We managed to scrape together 3/4 of a cup of flour — just enough to...
